I just thought of something. It has to do with Wikiboxes, because I absolutely love them…
More specifically, I was thinking about the ones for the Senate races. I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about - on the Wikipedia articles for Senate elections, there’s a Wikibox that contains the pertinent info regarding that election cycle (number of seats for each party before and after the election, Majority and Minority Leaders before and after the election, net gain in seats), as well as a map with the states color-coded according to who won and whether a seat changed party control (basically, it’s like this: light red = Republicans held seat, dark red = Republicans flipped seat, light blue = Democrats held seat, dark blue = Democrats flipped seat, medium gray = Independents held seat, dark gray = Independents flipped seat, light gray = there was no election in that state that year). In addition, if a state held an election for both seats that year (i.e. a special election alongside the regular one), then a small rectangle appears within that state, again with the appropriate color scheme.
Anyway, I wonder if any of you are up to the challenge of creating a series of Wikiboxes for all the Senate election cycles from 1962 to 2020, based on the info given in the main KFP timeline regarding who won each race in each state. I’d love to see them!

I didn't realize this was something that had already been used. Should I delete this?
